The Regina Rowing Club is having a fundraiser for Joel this weekend, during the Northwest Rowing Regatta. Friends, family and all Joel's supporters are invited to participate - and for those of you that don't know anything about one of Joel's favourite sports -- we'll make sure you learn!!!
Participants will pay $5.00 to pull 250 meters (not very far!) on a rowing training machine. We've got categories for the 'pro rowers' participating in the regatta, but also categories for Joel's friends and family, regatta volunteers, regatta officials (that's Shane's category!). The winner in each category will receive one of Joel's own special "hippo hats", and will have an opportunity to enter for some great participant prizes that the Club has had donated to the fundraiser from businesses throughout the city. For those of you that are REALLY competitive, you're encouraged to come back more than once to improve your score -- for another $5.00, of course!
And your reward -- other than helping Joel???? The Regina Rowing Club has proudly commissioned awesome "WE HEART JOEL" bracelets, and each participant will receive one, each time they pull.
So be sure to drop by the PULL FOR JOEL tent, at the south end of Wascana Lake, just down the park from Wascana Rehab, anytime Friday or Saturday between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We're looking forward to seeing everyone there!!!!

Great job Dawn!
hey! I will be there with bells on. Yes you heard it....bells.
Sadly few hippo beach members will be able to attend the regatta this weekend. This has something to do with the fact that rowing is not a hippo beach officially sanctioned sport as one cannot row and quaff beer at the same time. But I digress. What we would like to know if there is another way we could obtain these "bracelets" and is there another word we could use aside from "bracelets" as the male hippo is subject to much ridicule if he accessorizes in an effeminate manner (not that that is a bad thing). Perhaps something along the lines of Swiss Army Survival Wrist Bands would be acceptable.
Joel has Paris Hilton tried to contact you personally? We think there is an official Hippo membership awaiting her.
Hi Joel!
Guy and i attempted to row for you today! much harder than i expected. I hope it turns out to be very successfull. It's unbelievable how many people are "pulling" for you!
I am wearing my bracelet with much pride......miss you lots.
Love Jenn
Not very often anymore do I accept new clients but today I did meet someone new.He had longer,blonde curly hair and it looked like he had'nt saw a hairdresser in many months.Of coarse when he got there I was running behind so I asked him to have a seat by the window,I would be with him in a moment.As I looked over at him I laughed to myself.He reminded me so much of you the first time I met you(not quite as cute).Anyway I thought of you all day.It was great to see you the other night,and I expect that you will soon be sitting by the window waiting for me again.Have a great weekend!
Hey Hippo Beach Spokesman -- Maybe it's time to get in touch with your feminine side!!!!! But if you're not self-assured enough to wear a 'bracelet' -- we'll definitely call it a "We Heart Joel" Swiss Army Survival Wrist Band (SASWB). Whatever it takes -- get your butt down here and pull!!!!!
(The "We Heart Joel" SASWB's will be available to everyone next week -- you'll just lose out on a chance to win some awsome prizes!)
For those of you that want a chance to win those prizes -- come on down to Wascana Lake Saturday between 10:00 and 4:30. Joel came by today, and hopefully he'll make it over again tomorrow -- Great to see you Joel!!!!
